Shit, guys.

[amberlyrose]

I'm no help because I'd be doing the same thing.

[Deleted]

I'm trying to picture you going derpy over anything. I suppose I would be in the same boat. You know you want to sneak a pic!

[sawyerthedestroyer]

PIP?

[isabel]

Lol!

[ECB]

LOL.

[mcmel]

Make a few notecards with general sayings on them and whenever he talks to you just hold one up. You won't look weird at all. I promise.

[05heel]

You answered your own question. Wear blackface.

We have a VP who is Australian (well, born in Sri Lanka, raised in Australia) and hoooooo boy. He's also abnormally sweet and charming and handsome. And gay. That is literally the only reason I have not husbanded him. And I HAVE a husband so it's saying something that THAT is the only reason I haven't, lol.

[iamali]

Throw yourself on the ground at his feet as though you need CPR.

[cbwm1]

Actual LOL

Australian accents do me in errrry time.

Not only is he not gay, I think he's married to a black woman.

A BLACK WOMAN.  HE EVEN BATS FOR MY TEAM.  GODDAMNIT.

I say you move in for the kill.  How's his breath?

[Jermys]

I sat next to an Aussie soccer/football player on a flight once, and I was like that for the entire two hours. I am no help.

[Jermys]

And even if he looked like Danny DeVito, he'd still have the accent. And you can close your eyes. IJS

[cville]

One of my client contacts was born in Italy. I thank my lucky stars whenever we talk that it's by conference call and not video conference because I just CAN'T with him. I can grin like a loon in the privacy of my office.

[rex]

i had/have a crush on one of my h's former coworkers. the only way to maintain my composure was to basically ignore him lol

and my h worked right next to him so i had to play it cool.

[hereigo]

Yum!

Men with accents is my thang.

[aussiecrush]

See the screen name. You are fucked. Once you crush on an Aussie you are ruined.

[sporky]

I'm sorry, Nugget. There is no help for this. Australians have the best accents and they know it. I'll bet he purposefully says hi to everyone just to get those reactions. Bastard.

[05heel]

Do his drawers have skidmarks? Can you check?

Next time he says hello scream, "I'm MARRIED, okay??"

[meggers5]

I'm not going to lie, half the reason I had sex with FI in the first place was his accent.

I have a similar situation with hot Scandinavian dad at my daycare.

My dreams were dashed the day I met his hot Peruvian wife one afternoon at pick up, lol.

[luckyval]

I'll trade you am Aussie for a smoking hot law professor in tight khakis that just completed Hamlet's To Be speech during a very dull public speaking class

I just felt 200 women collectively sigh when he recited the speech for real

Because bears.

[shell403b]

nuggetbrain, you made my day w/ this post. SO funny (specifically your tripping-over-your-words-unintelligible-attempt-to-communicate-with-him).

And LOL @ PIP.

[jane6672]

The really cute guy in the office asked me if I had tylenol the other day, and I blushed and got all jumbly.

I'm a ghost, nugget. I lit up like a stoplight.




He doesn't even have an accent.

[DotAndBuzz]

Yeah, I've got nothing. I'm no help.

In fact, I may be getting Mexican carry out tonight simply because the hottest of hotties works Thursday nights (what? No, I haven't made a mental note). Last time I went in there, he asked for my name for my order twice because I fumbled my name. MY NAME. Then he said he liked my glasses and I think I mumbled something in return, but I'm pretty sure it was incoherent, and surrounded by a breathy giggle laugh and deer in the headlights eyes on my part.

I'll take the kids tonight because at least then I can still stare, but also have something to distract myself and hopefully make me able to speak like an adult.
